CORRECTION: We made a mistake in that the other wash cycles can be rolled over into the dry cycle if it is manually selected before the cycle starts, we still think more than 2 of them should be defaulted to just roll-over but it's still a nice feature we overlooked. We will discuss more about these features in some follow-up videos.
Love mine. I do 3 loads a week since it's just me. If your single and do limited wash and dry cycles, this is perfect. No lint problems or issues with buildup on the gasket.
@@BoulevardHome The key is maintenance. Cleaning the lint filter and condenser fins is very easy and more important, very accessible. Lots of open space, unlike the cramped GE all in one. Baby this machine and it will last.
I have the new LG unit - it work s great - yes drying time is a little longer - start it night (time delay 2-3hours ) use quiet night mode - don’t hear anything- bedroom is 10’ away very quiet - clothes are done in morning- and no issues with lint or dog hair I would definitely buy again - maybe I’ll add a second unit it the future-
Just got mine and I am quite happy after four loads with different types of clothes and bedding. I will start doing towel only washes/dries, however, as when I did a mixed load with towels included, it took about 4 hours to finish, versus 2.5 hours for just clothing. Did a queen comforter with an extra rinse cycle and it took three hours total and came out feeling warm and very dry.
Glad to hear you're happy with it so far! That's not a bad idea, doing towels separate. In our experience mixed loads also took a very long time to dry. Thanks for watching!
I bought one a month ago loved the concept, the one problem I had with it that if you have pets more than 1 I wouldn't recommend it. We have 4 dogs and washing the blankets they lay on didn't get it clean took a little hair off and that's it very little in the lint trap and the gasket for the lint trap was deformed and more hair ended up on the fins inside of the unit (fire Hazzard) plus all the hair around the door gasket was horrible so after our 48 hours to test it we called Home depot and returned it thinking something was wrong with the lint trap, so a few days later they came with a new one and before they took it in the house I looked at the lint trap and same thing told them to take it back. So now we are getting the LG WashTower.
The LG does have a drying sensor, but it is a little confusing as to whether or not its being used when the dry cycle is selected. It would be nice to see them update the app and unit to include a timed-dry and a sensor-dry option that are clearly differentiated by their names.
LG sent out a software update for this unit August 1, 2024 after doing update dries much better. I also made a cut to fit filter after main lint filter so far preventing lint from building up on coil. 0:34
My old LG turbowash had thinq and it for this reason I didn’t like it and never used it again as you have to turn on the machine to be able to use it plus if you want to change a setting after you start it the whole key pad is frozen and won’t let you change anything until it is finished or you cancel the whole program so just quicker and easier to turn it on while you are stood there. So when the drum went on my old one I got a brand new LGturbowash360 direct drive 2in1 electric washer/dryer (without the thinq wifi) to save money as I wasn’t expecting it to die and still wanted a LG again. Fluff is a problem and here in the uk we don’t even have a lint filter lol it all gets rinsed out of the tub into the main pump at the bottom of the machine and also stuck all around the rubber door seal and also hate the smell of it when it’s on dry makes me feel sick like a rubber smell was worse when it was new out the box in march it’s getting better but can still smell it… Mine has ai wash which I find great in my opinion and smart diagnosis it’s the drying part that lets these 2in1 down I expect a little better from a LG washer/dryer but it’s not any different to how a cheeper one works this has electric drying not a heat pump. But thankfully I still have my old 2009 Miele heat pump tumble dryer in the hallway cupboard so use that 80% of the time in autumn/winter months But do love putting clothes I need in a hurry or work uniforms in at night turning it on to the wash&dry 6kg cycle and it’s all done and ready to wear in the morning just don’t put more than half a drum full or they come out damp and smell so have to be washed and dried all again. Separates are definitely better but I live on my own have someone stay now and then so it suits me fine wouldn’t recommend combos for families.
Thank you for this video. I thought that the one major issue you would highlight would be the failure of the lint filter! I agree with one other commenter that the door gasket and all its little crevices functions as a second lint trap, in addition to the "official" one at the top of the unit. That one does collect lint but we are still getting a ton of additional lint, debris and hair in clinging to the door gasket. Such that we have to either vacumn it out with our smallest attachment and also wipe it out with a disposable wipe. I don't think it is acceptable to have to spend 5 minutes cleaning the washer between each load. And this happens with what I would consider "normal" loads - not just the ones that we know have dog hair. This is all ironic as we got rid of our stinking Maytag because of the door gasket mold, and now we have a different door gasket problem. We bought ours at the end of May 2024 and just called for service.
Mine performed great for three months. Now it is starting to drip water down onto the clothes at the end of the dry cycle, and the clothes are not drying nearly as well. I am trying to have LG send a repair technician, but they are reluctant!
Question for you, I may be wrong, the way the LG is made compare to GE, when you wash the fins if the compressor, I think that even if its awkward having to clean from the top (if you want to create a table on top, its well designed to clean the fins in its natural way up and down, pretty sure that they could be fragile and if you stick stuff in like GE or samsung you could potentially bend a few fins making it less and less efficient. Am I correct? I am looking at it because I am alone and often forget to change washer to dryer... I can run it during the night where the electricity rates are good and stay away from peak prices. Thank you all of you for your comment it helps making a good decision.
The lint filter being on top definitely restricts what you can place on top of this unit, correct. That is one downside. In terms of cleaning the compressor, it doesn't seem any more difficult to access this one than it does on the GE. Thanks for watching!
Save space or save _space_ 👽? Jokes aside, that's a valid concern many people have! Some people have actually just swapped out their washer for this all in one unit, so you can still use it as a wash only if you want! You could even run a load as wash only, move it to the dryer, and then start another load as a wash + dry and have both loads finish together! Thanks for watching!
I was looking into energy costs today to run this unit compared to a regular washer dryer set. I found the energy use with this unit is 400 kW plus per hour and a yearly cost. They stated $13 a year.. I found a cost between the 240 as the dryer would run a quarter at the time you're savings is minimal
GE has a five year warranty. Samsung has one year. It doesn’t matter to us as no one will sell any LG around here (southern Nova Scotia) as there is no one to provide service.
Uhh... GE has a "Five year" warranty with many asterisks. A) Labor isn't included beyond the first year. Labor is, BY FAR, the most expensive part of any repair. B) The 5-year portion only applies to the heat pump C) The 10-year portion only applies to the motor. For the period of: We will replace: One year From the date of the original purchase Any part of the unit which fails due to a defect in materials or workmanship. During this limited one-year warranty, we will also provide, free of charge, all labor and related service to replace the defective part. Five years From the date of the original purchase The sealed heat pump drying system (compressor, condenser, evaporator and all connecting tubing) which fails due to a defect in materials or workmanship. During this additional four-year limited warranty, you will be responsible for any labor and related service costs. Ten years From the date of the original purchase The motor, if it should fail due to a defect in materials or workmanship. During this additional nine-year limited warranty, you will be responsible for any labor and related service costs. The GE does NOT have a 5-year warranty in the sense that most appliances have a 1-year warranty. A GE service at year 2-5 on the heat pump will still likely be a solid $300+. Also, thank you for including your "WhERE I LiVe" nonsense as though it's relevant or actionable. You could at least share where you claim to live so it could be useful for people.
i bought new one week ago 8kg washer and 5 dryer i am single user and it takes tooo long . plus it doesn’t rinse the clothes/ the dryer leave a bvery bad wrinkles in my clothes i have to iron them after !! and the surface is too hot when put my hand it is literally like a stove surface any one can help
A combo washer/dryer is great if space is an issue. If not, why not wash one load, put that in the dryer and work on the next load of wash? Bendix brought out the first or if not one of the first combo washer/dryers back in the 1950's. Machines like this work well in Europe to where most don't have a dedicated dryer. In the meantime, I'll suffer with my Speed Queen front loader. Boulevard Home seems to be expanding into our area, Las Vegas to where I caught a glimpse of one of those stores somewhere around town. Seems more like an R.C. Wiley. Probably not a place that I would shop for appliances but no doubt better than Home Depot or Lowes. Around here, it is Sub Zero, Wolf & Miele.
You're absolutely correct, we did just open a store in Las Vegas! We have a great showroom with more than just appliances (we also sell furniture and mattresses). We'd love to help you out with any of those needs next time they come up, so always feel free to walk on in, thanks for watching!
@@BoulevardHome I am sure that you have lovely furniture and mattresses, I use a Hästins from Sweden and furniture around the house, a "certain" level that is custom made sofas and a higher end of furniture that is built to last and of a style that will be "current" over the long term. A lot of these "box" stores are mainly in the business of selling financing and the appliances, mattresses and furniture is secondary. Much like McDonald's; selling hamburgers is a sideline compared to their real estate business.
Maybe you should do a follow up on the units that never stop drying. LG HQ now admits it’s an issue where the dry cycle will run forever and they can’t seem to fix it.
I don't know if you got it fixed yet but there is a hidden update on one of the melodies that you can get on the app that finally fixed mine. It would never shut off until I updated everything from the app. I work 12 hour days so when all said and done with I would be gone 14 hours or more and since I put in a load before work the machine would end up running for those whole 14 hours. Also on another note the tech's they sent were great, prompt, and professional but (always a but) they have no idea what they are doing on these machines. Either LG just never trained them or they are just totally ignoring some of the problems. I kept contacting customer service and not once did they say the machine not shutting off was a issue. They just kept sending the tech out and he couldn't do anything since it was a software issue. They ended up sending a tech 7 times before finally we decided to update all the melodies and season stuff. One of those fixed it never shutting off.
Got one less than a month ago and it stopped drying. LG tech support for two days now is having me do a bunch of stupid trouble shooting that I already know isn't going to work. It's heating up and everything but it IS NOT drying, I might have to return it.
@TheSammadan Did you ever get it fixed? Mine isn't burning, the clothes are just still damp with wet spots after drying and also after additional drying time.
Okay, I'm back to thinking the drying problem is because of the drain hose, I think (and I'm pretty certain) the technician was actually wrong. I read in other comments that if the hose is too high then it won't drain properly. So I tried draining it (lowering the hose) directly into a 32 gallon garbage can. It worked a lot better, only a couple items felt a little damp so I ran just those items again on 'gentle' and they fully dried.
I have a query: My Bosch washer bangs slightly on the door when taking off during interim spins / final spins. And bangs when the spin ends Is this a warning that the shocks need replacement?
Thanks for the question! The first thing I would check is definitely whether or not it was installed correctly and is balanced properly. It shouldn't be shaking so much that it's banging on the door.
@@BoulevardHome it's directly kept on the floor. (in India, no proper provision for a laundry area. So, people just make do with available space. But manufacturer recommends that the machine be kept on the floor). Banging is not too violent though. It's balanced (checked with spirit level). Is it due to unbalanced load? If so how to balance a load?
I just got this unit about a week ago and am still learning. I had something very strange happen today. I opened the door after drying was complete and started folding the completely dry items (a mixture of towels and tshirts). When I got to the end I had one towel left that was plastered up against the drum, still quite wet. I cannot understand how every other item was completely dry and this one was like it had not been in the dryer at all (although quite warm). Has this happened to anyone else??
I have a LG All in One and not sure if I'm liking it, Just purchased it in March...First I noticed that when its done with cycle, the rubber around door is like a lint filter, I have to clean it every time , its like having 2 lint filters, is this normal??? Also I do understand that the drying time is long but the clothes are so wrinkled , my dryers in the past do not do this, also its like unwinding rope, clothes are so twisted and don't dry right!! Am I doing something wrong that may cause all this? Help! 😤
We had similar problems with the addition of the clothes sticking to the walls of the drum and not tumbling at all. We found that if you drain the machine after every cycle using the drain hose on the front lower left exterior of the machine many of these problems improve (including the lint problem around the front door gasket). We drain about 1-2 cups of water after every cycle. I have a second repairman scheduled to come today to fix this issue. Since this is a relatively new product, my experience is that repairman don’t know how to fix it.
@@kathleenmcnabb6854 Thank you for responding, I had someone come out to look at the issue, but didn’t know a thing about it! Still had to pay him…I will surely try and drain the lower one and hopefully it will do the trick…😊
@@gr8tGod I learned another trick that may help the lint issue. When you remove the lint filter on top of the machine there is a plastic screen of sorts at the rear of the lint filter cavity. You can remove it and take out excess lint that has accumulated behind the screen. You need to remove the screw cover and the screw on the top right hand side of the long side of the lint filter cavity. Then remove the plastic piece that covers the long side on the right. Then you can remove the screen at the back and clean it. This information is in the manual which you apparently have to read cover to cover when you own this machine. I have never owned a machine that is so much work.
why should we have to remove screws and go through all of this with a new machine, its ridiculous the amount of extra time cleaning up lint, drain the water, clean this lint trap, remove screw to clean that lint trap, give me my money back LG!
I purchased this machine, kept it for a couple of days, tested it and returned it. It takes hours to dry. I put a towel and a few pair of socks to dry, after one and a half hour they were still not dried. Do not buy, you will be frustrated!!!
It's like you are doing old school washing machine and then a old school hot air drying laundry and you completely refuse to adjust your behavior to the new world of modern washer+dryer. You need to only include items of the same THICKNESS, there is no way any of those loads, except perhaps the white one was thickness sorted. It would be like testing a modern car by throwing it out an airplane to see if it went as fast as an old one and the complaining the new one looked different when it hit the ground than the old one. The time is INTENTIONALLY longer to SAVE power, but you never really bother using the machines correctly, so do we save power, because we might actually have to do more washes, making it hard to label the testing anything but 100% useless.
This machine is a roaring piece of junk. Its not ventless, its just that after the top lint filter and the bottom lint trap(which i clean religiously), more lint just gets all over the inside of the machine in the heat pump coils and everywhere else. Im getting two Speed Queens with mech dials next.
I do not recommend this unit at all. Even after the heat pump was replaced after a few months, it takes 8-12 hours to wash/dry. Most of the lint goes into the gasket and not the lint filter. I am contemplating buying a separate dryer.
Looking to install this in our new 5th wheel RV that is prepped for a combo or stacked units. Saw this unit today at Lowe's, and it could meet our needs. 120 volts and no vent required. Any downside?
This unit would be great in an RV! The biggest downside we ran into was just the long cycles, but time will tell if something bigger shows up. A concern that has come up with other all-in-one units is lint buildup on the condenser coils, which just means it requires a bit of annoying maintenance to clean those up. Other than that, there are just the little details mentioned in the video. Thanks for watching!
CORRECTION: We made a mistake in that the other wash cycles can be rolled over into the dry cycle if it is manually selected before the cycle starts, we still think more than 2 of them should be defaulted to just roll-over but it's still a nice feature we overlooked. We will discuss more about these features in some follow-up videos.
Love mine. I do 3 loads a week since it's just me. If your single and do limited wash and dry cycles, this is perfect. No lint problems or issues with buildup on the gasket.

LG stands for Lint Gathers.
On the coils,door gasket etc…

We ran into that same issue with our test, so we would agree that those with pets should definitely consider that before buying. Thanks for sharing!
This might only work if you have pets that don’t shed
Thank god I watched the video first..and the comments. I’ll stick with my current washer and dryer
I don’t think I could live with the time-based rather than dryness-based drying cycle. I’m still leaning towards the GE for now.
The LG does have a drying sensor, but it is a little confusing as to whether or not its being used when the dry cycle is selected. It would be nice to see them update the app and unit to include a timed-dry and a sensor-dry option that are clearly differentiated by their names.

Does lg combo wash the coils ?
This unit does not clean the coils automatically, but I'd imagine there are some informative videos elsewhere on how to do that.
Am looking for one here in PUERTO RICO I don't know where to go.
Maybe you should do a follow up on the units that never stop drying. LG HQ now admits it’s an issue where the dry cycle will run forever and they can’t seem to fix it.

Thanks for the question! The first thing I would check is definitely whether or not it was installed correctly and is balanced properly. It shouldn't be shaking so much that it's banging on the door.
@@BoulevardHome it's directly kept on the floor. (in India, no proper provision for a laundry area. So, people just make do with available space. But manufacturer recommends that the machine be kept on the floor). Banging is not too violent though. It's balanced (checked with spirit level). Is it due to unbalanced load? If so how to balance a load?
Are you saying the dryer doesn't have to have a vent to the outside? How does that work?
Heat pump technology. It doesn't use traditional heating elements. GE and Samsung combos also use heat pumps.
I just got this unit about a week ago and am still learning. I had something very strange happen today. I opened the door after drying was complete and started folding the completely dry items (a mixture of towels and tshirts). When I got to the end I had one towel left that was plastered up against the drum, still quite wet. I cannot understand how every other item was completely dry and this one was like it had not been in the dryer at all (although quite warm). Has this happened to anyone else??
Haven’t heard of this one yet! We’re still using ours regularly and will do an update soon on how it’s been performing.
We had this happen too. Very odd.
I have a LG All in One and not sure if I'm liking it, Just purchased it in March...First I noticed that when its done with cycle, the rubber around door is like a lint filter, I have to clean it every time , its like having 2 lint filters, is this normal??? Also I do understand that the drying time is long but the clothes are so wrinkled , my dryers in the past do not do this, also its like unwinding rope, clothes are so twisted and don't dry right!! Am I doing something wrong that may cause all this? Help! 😤
We had similar problems with the addition of the clothes sticking to the walls of the drum and not tumbling at all. We found that if you drain the machine after every cycle using the drain hose on the front lower left exterior of the machine many of these problems improve (including the lint problem around the front door gasket). We drain about 1-2 cups of water after every cycle. I have a second repairman scheduled to come today to fix this issue. Since this is a relatively new product, my experience is that repairman don’t know how to fix it.
@@kathleenmcnabb6854 Thank you for responding, I had someone come out to look at the issue, but didn’t know a thing about it! Still had to pay him…I will surely try and drain the lower one and hopefully it will do the trick…😊
@@gr8tGod I learned another trick that may help the lint issue. When you remove the lint filter on top of the machine there is a plastic screen of sorts at the rear of the lint filter cavity. You can remove it and take out excess lint that has accumulated behind the screen. You need to remove the screw cover and the screw on the top right hand side of the long side of the lint filter cavity. Then remove the plastic piece that covers the long side on the right. Then you can remove the screen at the back and clean it. This information is in the manual which you apparently have to read cover to cover when you own this machine. I have never owned a machine that is so much work.
@@kathleenmcnabb6854 Thank you again for your suggestions. Helps a lot! I will definitely try and hopefully it will make a difference! 😊
why should we have to remove screws and go through all of this with a new machine, its ridiculous the amount of extra time cleaning up lint, drain the water, clean this lint trap, remove screw to clean that lint trap, give me my money back LG!
We got one
I purchased this machine, kept it for a couple of days, tested it and returned it. It takes hours to dry. I put a towel and a few pair of socks to dry, after one and a half hour they were still not dried.
Do not buy, you will be frustrated!!!
It's like you are doing old school washing machine and then a old school hot air drying laundry and you completely refuse to adjust your behavior to the new world of modern washer+dryer.
You need to only include items of the same THICKNESS, there is no way any of those loads, except perhaps the white one was thickness sorted. It would be like testing a modern car by throwing it out an airplane to see if it went as fast as an old one and the complaining the new one looked different when it hit the ground than the old one.
The time is INTENTIONALLY longer to SAVE power, but you never really bother using the machines correctly, so do we save power, because we might actually have to do more washes, making it hard to label the testing anything but 100% useless.

Yes, the GE version of this is huge and ugly.
We definitely aren't fans of its appearance, but hopefully there are some people out there who like it!
Not practical for me, cycle is too long
This machine is a roaring piece of junk. Its not ventless, its just that after the top lint filter and the bottom lint trap(which i clean religiously), more lint just gets all over the inside of the machine in the heat pump coils and everywhere else. Im getting two Speed Queens with mech dials next.
Same
Definitely a piece of junk. Takes forever to dry
JUNK!
I bought it about 4 months ago lg , I being single love it I don't think it's good for a family of 4 at max tbh
I live in a rural area that being said love that it doesn't need an exhaust vent, "rodents"
I do not recommend this unit at all. Even after the heat pump was replaced after a few months, it takes 8-12 hours to wash/dry. Most of the lint goes into the gasket and not the lint filter. I am contemplating buying a separate dryer.
Looking to install this in our new 5th wheel RV that is prepped for a combo or stacked units. Saw this unit today at Lowe's, and it could meet our needs. 120 volts and no vent required. Any downside?
This unit would be great in an RV! The biggest downside we ran into was just the long cycles, but time will tell if something bigger shows up. A concern that has come up with other all-in-one units is lint buildup on the condenser coils, which just means it requires a bit of annoying maintenance to clean those up. Other than that, there are just the little details mentioned in the video. Thanks for watching!
Where is Blake's tear down video of the LG? Soon to be uploaded?
Correct! It's not quite ready yet, but it's on its way, so stay tuned. Thanks for watching!
